The 115th Annual GFWC International Convention was held at the Denver Marriott Tech Center in South Denver. Located close to Cherry Creek State Park, it was a lovely setting for this convention. Twelve delegates from Oklahoma attended the convention. The Theme was ""Up, Up and Away - New Horizons and Beyond" for this convention. After the processional introduction of officers, Missi McCoy, GFWC Citizenship Chairman presented a heart moving presentation of "There She Stands" the U.S. Flag Ceremony. Each State President made a kite and flew them around the convention floor as delegates sang "Let's Go Fly A Kite".
